What's new

  • 🍎 Mac: a main window. Like the Windows app, JBLControl on the Mac now has a full window: nearby speakers in a sidebar, the connected one in full with its presets, equalizer, details and Keep Awake, plus Settings and About. Closing it keeps JBLControl in the menu bar, where the panel works as before and gains an Open JBLControl button. Started at login, it still opens quietly in the menu bar.
  • 🪟 Windows: the equalizer now works with the keyboard and screen readers, and the tray panel's height is fixed.

Install

Mac (macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple Silicon or Intel)

  1. Download JBLControl-0.8.0.dmg below.
  2. Open it and drag JBLControl onto Applications (choose Replace if you're updating).
  3. First launch: if macOS blocks it, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/JBLControl.app.
    Why this happens and why it's safe →

Windows (preview; Windows 10 version 1809 or later, x64 or Arm64)

  1. Download JBLControl-win-x64-0.8.0-setup.exe below (win-arm64 for Arm PCs such as Snapdragon laptops).
  2. Run it. If Windows says "Windows protected your PC", choose More info → Run anyway. Updating? Just run the new installer.
    Why this happens, and about Smart App Control →
  3. Prefer no installer? Extract the portable JBLControl-win-x64-0.8.0.zip and run JBLControl.exe.
